  • @Tim - Neither. This is the default icon. Jul 9, 2016 at 15:36
  • I mean which what did it change from - your gravatar or an upload?

  • @Tim - I don't know what you're talking about. Before it was purple and white with a different pattern. Jul 9, 2016 at 16:03
  • So you changed your email address on this site?

According to this question

your identicon is based on a hash of your last known IP address

if you didn't enter your email address on your profile.

So, if you haven't put your email address on your profile and you logged in from a different IP address, your identicon would change... Maybe this is the explanation in your case.
